mb|d|nt|inquiry: ekeblad has wiped out the huge session lead, and now leads 31 to 29 for the boards today|pg||
mb|p|nt|me argent: another good OR result for eke|pg||
nt|frajerzyna: szlem pikowy po partii |pg||
mb|2S|nt|landen: lightning fast in this room....surprising|pg||
mb|p|nt|kit: Close 4@H here -- probably depends upon picking up the queen of hearts|pg||
nt|me argent: EW make 3 or 4 @Cs|pg||
nt|maticm4: z pewnoœci¹ ns powinni ruszyc do ataku|pg||
mb|4S|nt|kit: probably a support double -- but might show a strong notrump -- anybody know?|pg||
nt|landen: both, I guess|pg||
nt|kit: this time, yes both|pg||
nt|landen: support with strong notrump or equivalent distribution|pg||
nt|inquiry: I predict they will not get to play 2@H here....|pg||
mb|p|nt|inquiry: now for sURE|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|nt|kit: Rodwell probably not worth a raise with weak shape|pg||
pc|hQ|pc|h7|nt|frajerzyna: mow 7 pik|pg||

pc|h8|nt|maticm4: ooo|pg||
pc|h3|pg||
nt|frajerzyna: i dosta³em bitkê|pg||
pc|h2|nt|inquiry: any reasonable way to avoid 5 losers in @hs? set @d up for @C pitch, but that is not going to happen|pg||
nt|me argent: EW pushed their opponents just high enough|pg||
nt|frajerzyna: o sorry to by³ priw|pg||
pc|hT|nt|inquiry: and too late now anyway|pg||
nt|maticm4: moze siê zacz¹æ:)|pg||
nt|frajerzyna: brawo MIcha³|pg||
nt|frajerzyna: musia³ us³yszeæ|pg||
nt|frajerzyna: mam donoœny g³os|pg||
pc|hA|nt|kit: I guess the double didn't guarantee 3-card heart support, or Rosenberg's 3@D call would be strange|pg||
nt|landen: I'm told Zia plays it shows strong notrump, says nothing about heart support|pg||
nt|kit: A lot of pitfalls this hand -- even if Rosenberg gets the hearts right, he has problems|pg||
nt|kit: and he may take two spade finesses, which would be bad|pg||
nt|kit: he is worried about his third club -- he fears a 6-2 split after the overcall|pg||
nt|kit: But Meckstroth did pass as dealer, which places a lot of cards in Rodwell's hand and makes it more likely clubs are 5-3|pg||
pc|h4|pg||
nt|frajerzyna: mia³ powa¿ne przes³anki|pg||

nt|inquiry: eight tricks... is the limit|pg||
pc|c4|pc|c3|nt|kit: that solves the diamond problem, and maybe he can pitch a loser on the fourth diamond as well|pg||
pc|cA|pc|c2|pg||
pc|s4|nt|frajerzyna: mam nadziejê ¿e rozdanie da 13 impów Unii i zobaczymy jeszcze grê|pg||

nt|inquiry: 4 more imps for ekeblad.. well competed by EW... |pg||
pc|s2|pc|c5|nt|landen: in the first set there was push at +1000 in 5HXX|pg||
nt|landen: Garner and Weinstein -1000 twice so far|pg||
pc|sQ|pc|sA|pg||
pc|dQ|pc|dK|nt|kit: Now he has a claim -- draw the trump, knock out king of diamonds, and he has 5 hearts, 3 diamonds, and 2 black aces for 10|pg||
pc|d7|pc|d4|pg||

mb|p|nt|mmmakela: S showing his hearts asking why not 3 NT?|pg||
nt|onebid: SDAM?|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|nt|mmmakela: weaker and weaker|pg||

mb|4H|nt|hedyg: what is SDAM?|pg||
nt|onebid: OK OK six diamonds always makes :)|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|nt|onebid: is this a vul opener in any methods?|pg||

pc|h6|nt|hedyg: is this a joke Staffan?|pg||
nt|hedyg: ah ok ty|pg||
nt|onebid: a little heavy, but within reason|pg||
nt|vugraph168: it´s called kålrot. 1@C is 15 any, 1@D is 8-14 5+M, 1M shows 8-14 exactly 4card M, can have longer minor |pg||
nt|hedyg: isnt he too strong for 1NT rebid?|pg||
pc|h2|nt|hedyg: ok ty:)|pg||
pc|hK|pc|h9|pg||

nt|hedyg: 21..heavy|pg||
pc|dJ|nt|ahh: i would bid 2@D with north hand over double |pg||
pc|dQ|pg||
nt|ahh: not 1@H|pg||
nt|onebid: sound too much like a cuebid to me|pg||
nt|ahh: not when 1@D shows major |pg||
nt|mmmakela: yes 1 @H was a little odd|pg||
pc|hJ|nt|hedyg: cannot be a cuebid, E promised a Major|pg||
pc|h4|pc|s8|pc|h8|pg||
pc|cT|pc|cJ|pc|cQ|nt|onebid: but if you don't know which major and you want to show strength, what do you do?|pg||

nt|inquiry: was down one correct?|pg||
mb|1S|nt|me argent: of course ther are almost 50 hands left in this match so harris can still come back the problem of course is that other team is playing very well|pg||
mb|d|nt|inquiry: something funny happened at the end on that claim I think..|pg||
mb|p|mb|2H|mb|p|nt|me argent: @D lead  might well set this|pg||
nt|inquiry: ok something in the play must have been wrong|pg||
nt|me argent: nothing else will|pg||
nt|inquiry: earlier|pg||
mb|3H|nt|me argent: VOILA|pg||
mb|p|mb|4H|mb|p|nt|kit: This is an easy 4@H for N-S.  E-W have good 5@D save, but they have to get the suit in to find it|pg||
nt|landen: another Zia 1NT psyche, about 1 every 10 boards it seems|pg||
mb|p|nt|kit: And opening 1NT is not the way to do that|pg||
mb|p|pc|sQ|pc|sA|nt|inquiry: this will be down... |pg||

nt|hedyg: i would pass..........if i knew that pd has 21 HCPs:)|pg||
mb|p|nt|onebid: so Jim - what do you do with just under opening bid?|pg||

mb|p|pc|c9|pc|c2|pc|cJ|nt|ahh: bidding the spots off the cards here |pg||
nt|hedyg: had to lead @c to beat this, but A@d and @d now still works|pg||
nt|onebid: Trapp had 3 9's|pg||
nt|mmmakela: now makes if no @D shift and guesses hearts|pg||
nt|hedyg: then normal to bid game:)|pg||

mb|p|nt|me argent: making 2@Hs wont be easy without a little help|pg||
nt|me argent: that lead didnt help|pg||
mb|p|nt|kit: Rodwell knows the hand is mis-fittish, so he won't be competing I don't think|pg||
